The analysis of visually assessed and measured body conformation traits were based on the sample of 935 first calving Black and White cows - daughter from 59 bull-sires. Proportion of Holstein genes in the genotype of bulls and cows was 80 and 60 percentage approximately. Milk production was realized during period of six years on ten farms of Agricultural Combine Belgrade (PKB), Serbia. Results are processed by method of least squares (Harvey, 1990). Linearly scored traits were about average using the scale from 1 to 9. Measured traits have shown expected values which represent investigated population. Phenotypic correlations were weak and strong with positive and negative coefficient in both group of traits. All differences between bull-sires were statistically high significant (P is less 0.01), including all presented traits.
